TRLA
SETTLES WITH GARCIA/SALAZ
(Posted
10-14-06) On October 5, 2006, the Association, Robert and Jo Garcia, and Viola
Salaz, Robert’s sister, signed a settlement agreement ending litigation that
began December 2001 over the placement of Ms Salaz’s manufactured home on
the Garcia’s lot. The agreement eliminates the pending trial before District
Court Judge Foutz as directed by the December 2005 New Mexico Appeals Court decision.
The official news release by the TRLA Board of Directors
gives details of the agreement here.
An
Important Clarification of the TRLA Settlement with Garcia/Salaz
(Posted
11-28-06) In two articles in the October, 2006 Timberlake Times,
the Association stated in part that it had “successfully defended the current
CC&Rs” and that “Robert, Jo and Viola had paid for their error.”
This was a poor choice of words on our part; the Association did not mean to imply
that either side had “won” the lawsuit. Rather, what we meant to communicate
was that the parties had reach an amicable settlement of the dispute between them
which provides significant benefits to both TRLA and to Robert and Jo Garcia and
Viola Salaz. The Association sincerely regrets any misunderstandings or misimpressions,
which these articles caused. --The TRLA Board of Directors
TRLA
WINS AGAIN!
(Posted
7-7-06) TRnews has recently learned that the lawsuit filed by plaintiff Mr. McGarry,
a TRLA landowner, almost 8 years ago, against a number of defendants, including
TRLA, both McKinley and Cibola counties, the developers, and a number of individual
past TRLA directors has been dismissed by the court after the plaintiff withdrew.
The case against TRLA challenged the validity of the CC and R’s, and TRLA’s
authority to enforce them."
